Pumpkin Carrot Muffins

These are yummy and healthy!!

Grating the carrots is a little work, but totally worth it in my opinion.

It took 2 large carrots to get the 1 cup of grated carrot.

The batter is pretty thick.

These are hearty and delicious!

Recipe
1 cup pumpkin
2/3 cup brown sugar
4 tbsp oil
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup grated carrots
1 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp baking powder


Beat together pumpkin, brown sugar, oil and egg.
Add in carrots.
In a separate bowl, blend together flour, salt, soda, baking powder and cinnamon.
Add to the pumpkin mixture.
Fill muffin tins about 2/3 full.
Bake at 375 degrees for 10-14 minutes. Makes 12 muffins.

For an extra treat (and to trick myself into thinking of these as dessert) I put a little bit of non-fat cool whip on top as a "frosting!"

Enjoy!
